Answer:

Founder effect

Explanation:

Foundation effect occurs when a small group of people from large population establishes a new colony causing the reduction of genetic variation. In the consquences, they may emphasize certain genes and phenotype or deemphasized them.

Example; There are higher cases of fumarase defeciency in population of member of fundamentalist church because of the practice of marying within the relegion.

The widespread genetic abnormality in a small population could be attributed to genetic drift or the founder effect. Both cause changes in allele frequency, but the founder effect specifically involves isolation and differing gene frequencies.

The presence of a specific genetic abnormality in a high proportion of a small population could most likely be the result of genetic drift or the founder effect. Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that can cause random changes in the frequency of alleles in a population. On the other hand, the founder effect occurs when a small number of individuals become geographically isolated from the main population and they possess different gene frequencies than the main population. If one of these individuals carry a specific genetic abnormality, it may become prevalent in this sub-population.

Answer:

Transformation

Explanation:

The experiment of Griffith on S. pneumoniae leads to the conclusion that the bacteria can take the DNA from the surrounding environment by the process of "Transformation".

He selected the two strains of bacteria, the smooth pathogenic strains (S strains) and the rough non-pathogenic strain (R strains). When he injected the dead S bacteria and live R bacteria, he obtained the live S bacteria from the mice.

He was amazed at how the dead S strain bacteria became alive and concluded that the dead S strain bacteria were transformed into the live S strain bacteria and named the process transformation. The transformation process refers to the uptake of the DNA material from the surrounding environment.

Thus, transformation is the correct answer.

Final answer:

Frederick Griffith's experiments demonstrated that a heat-killed pathogenic S strain transferred a "transforming principle" to a live nonpathogenic R strain, making it pathogenic. This was a key discovery, leading to the understanding that DNA is the material responsible for inheritance and transformation.

Explanation:

In Frederick Griffith's transformation experiments, something remarkable was observed. When Griffith injected a mouse with both the live nonpathogenic R strain and heat-killed pathogenic S strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae, the mouse died, and only the S strain was recovered.

This outcome was unexpected because separately, the live R strain did not kill the mice, and the heat-killed S strain could not cause illness either. Griffith's findings indicated that the nonpathogenic R strain had acquired the ability to form smooth colonies and become pathogenic from the heat-killed S strain.

Griffith concluded that the R strain must have taken up some transforming principle from the heat-killed S strain, which allowed it to become pathogenic. This transformative agent, initially hypothesized to be external DNA, was responsible for changing the morphology and physiology of the R strain, leading to the production of the protective polysaccharide capsule that is a characteristic of the pathogenic S strain. The capsule makes colonies appear smooth and enables the bacteria to evade the immune system, resulting in virulence.

These pivotal experiments played a crucial role in the discovery of DNA as the material of inheritance, paving the way for modern molecular genetics. The phenomenon observed by Griffith is now known as transformation, where genetic material from one cell can be taken up by another, incorporating new genetic information into its own genetic makeup.

Answer: The answer is C. An iron atom located on the heme portion hemoglobin

Explanation: Hemoglobin is responsible for the transportation of oxygen in the red blood cells to tissues of vertebrates. It is the protein molecule found in the red blood cells.

Hemoglobin is made up of 4 heme molecules surrounding the globin group, forming a tetrahedral structure. The heme molecules contain one atom of iron each and this is the binding spot for each molecule of oxygen through a covalent bond. Therefore, each hemoglobin molecule can have up to four molecules of oxygen attached to them.

Oxygen is attached to an iron atom located on the heme portion of hemoglobin. The correct answer is C) an iron atom located on the heme portion of hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. It consists of four subunits, each containing a heme group. Each heme group contains an iron atom that can bind to oxygen molecules.

When oxygen enters the lungs, it binds to the iron atoms in the heme groups of hemoglobin, forming a reversible complex called oxyhemoglobin. This oxygenated form of hemoglobin then carries oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, where it releases oxygen for use in cellular respiration. In the tissues, the oxygen dissociates from the iron atoms, and the hemoglobin returns to its deoxygenated state.

Therefore, the correct answer is C)  an iron atom located on the heme portion of hemoglobin.

Answer:

In Earth’s Northern Hemisphere summers are hot with plenty hours of strong sunlight and the winters are cold due to reduced daylight hours and weak sunlight.

This is because the Earth is tilted on its axis.

To picture this axis, envision an imaginary stick going through Earth from its North to South poles.

This axis isn't upright up and down as Earth orbits roundabout the sun. It is TILTED at an ANGLE just ABOUT 23 DEFREES and also in a fixed position and direction in space.

This tilt affects how the sunlight affects Earth at a certain location in its all year orbit. During summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is in the direction of the sun, receiving more sun's rays while the Southern Hemisphere at winter is pointed away from the sun, with its rays at mid way of Earth on a slant.

Take for example, When a book is tilted back 45 degrees, from a source of light - flashlight, it gives an oval shape that is dimmer and larger. The more it is tilted at a distance from the flashlight, it gives a more slanted light rays(it's weaker since it overlay a wider area and heat the air and surface less as in direct rays) that strikes the paper's surface.

The same phenomenon is seen with Earth and the sun. When Earth's North Pole is tilted in the direction of the sun, the direct rays produces stronger sunlight and warmth in North America-summertime—in relation to when the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. This will cause North America to have less direct rays and more slanted rays, producing much cold— wintertime.

Answer:

Dreams occurring during REM sleep are _intense_; dreams occurring during non-REM sleep are _less vivid, disconnected, and less memorable_.

Explanation:

REM  (rapid eye movement) sleep is

"a kind of sleep that occurs at intervals during the night and is characterized by rapid eye movements, more dreaming and bodily movement, and faster pulse and breathing."

Non-REM sleep (non-rapid eye movement) sleep is dreamless sleep.

Answer:

Dreams occurring during REM sleep are intense;

dreams occurring during non-REM sleep   less vivid, and less memorable.

REM –Rapid Eye Movement sleep is one of the stages of sleep the brain goes through during sleeping. It begins about an hour to  one hour thirty minutes  when an individual goes to sleep, The brain is active at this period as if  the subject fully awake. This explains why the dreams memories is retained   when fully awake  and the dream  is vivid and could be recollected.

Other physiological features associated with this stage are increase in blood pressure, variation in body temperature, and rise in brain oxygen consumption among others.

The full active brain also   stimulates the  spinal cord  for the seizure of motor control to the limbs, These immobilized these body parts with the subject in tentative state of paralysis, hence the REM is is sometimes refers to as  paradoxical sleep.  

The Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) is made up of 3 stages. This sleep stage mark the transition from being awake  to  deep sleep. It is marked with reduction in brain waves , body temperature,no paralysis of the limbs.

Dreams are rear during NREM stage, and if they occur it is usually early in the morning. This dream is due to activation of the subcortical area of the brain at this period of the day; this includes the olfactory bulb, the hypothalus.amygdala  .

B. Sympatric speciation, habitat differentiation.

Explanation:

The right answer to our question is B, Sympatric speciation, habitat differentiation.

Edward Bagnall Poulton derived the term sympatric speciation in 1904. It is a mode of speciation, which entails new species emerging from an ancestral species that is still alive and extant. Both the emerging and ancestral species will exist in the same zone.

This speciation is found more in plants. There are different types of these speciations. Habitat differentiation is seen within sympatric speciation. It is found when mutations that exist in the same zone can make use of varying conditions. Allopatric speciation and parapatric speciation are the other types of speciation.

In the given scenario, Sympatric speciation driven by habitat differentiation has occurred. The different 'habitats' are represented by the flower color preferences of the beetle variants, leading them to diverge to the point of becoming distinct species.

The type of speciation that has occurred in the provided scenario is Sympatric speciation, driven by habitat differentiation. In this context, sympatric speciation refers to the process where new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the same geographic region. In this case, the 'geographic region' is the color of the flowers. The red and orange flowers represent different 'habitats' for the beetles.

In terms of what has driven this speciation, it is habitat differentiation. This is because even though the beetles are occupying the same general physical area, their 'habitat' in terms of the color of the flowers they prefer has caused a divergence in their mating and, hence, their gene pools. Over time, this leads to the two beetle variants becoming so different that interbreeding is no longer possible, effectively rendering them distinct species.

Final answer:

The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for ampicillin against the tested organism, based on the provided macrotube dilution susceptibility test setup and observations, is 12.5 micrograms/ml.

Explanation:

The student has inquired about determining the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) using a macrotube dilution susceptibility test. In this test, ampicillin was added to multiple tubes to observe the lowest concentration where bacterial growth is inhibited. Because tubes 1 through 5 showed no visible growth, with plates 1 through 4 indicating no growth upon further inspection, and growth only observed on plate 5, we conclude the MIC as follows: Since tubes 6 to 11 (including tube 5, where the sample was taken for Plate 5 showing bacterial growth) represent increasing concentrations of ampicillin and tube 5 was the last without visible growth before this series, the concentration in tube 5 represents the MIC. Considering the twofold serial dilution starting from 200 micrograms/ml in tube 1, by tube 5, the concentration would have been diluted four times (i.e., halved four times), indicating an MIC of 12.5 micrograms/ml for ampicillin against the tested organism.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. oxygen

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows the selective molecule to pass through it. The charged molecule is passed mainly through active transport.  

Water molecules pass through a type of passive diffusion called osmosis. Gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide move through simple diffusion. When oxygen moves in the cell carbon dioxide moves out of the cell. In diffusion, the molecule moves down their concentration gradient so no energy is needed in it. So the correct answer is D.

D.25% white-feather chickens, 25% red-feather chickens, and 50% red/white-feather chickens

The Correct answer is D

Explanation:

According to the question, the hybrid chicken has a mixture of red and white feather phenotypes expressed at the same time. This tells us that the red and white alleles are CODOMINANT in the chicken i.e. none is dominant or recessive over the other.

Let's assume that (R) allele is the red feather colour while (r) allele is for white feather colour. Therefore, the red/white feathered chicken will have a Rr genotype. In a cross between two red/white feathered chicken (Rr), the following offsprings will be produced RR, Rr, Rr and rr

RR- Homozygous red feather d chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)

Rr- Hybrid Red/White feathered chicken (2/4 × 100=50%)

rr- Homozygous white feathered chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)

Answer: Brain damage because of the inadequate blood supply from placenta.

Explanation:

The phase of post mature can be dangerous for the child. In this case there are chances that the baby might not get the adequate amount of blood from the placenta to the fetus.

The child might feel hypoxia inside the womb because the main source of oxygen is the placental blood. There can be lack of nutrients as well due to this reason.

Cortisol is responsible for gluconeogenesis, the formation of glucose from fats and proteins. Insulin reduces blood glucose levels, while aldosterone and glucagon work to increase blood glucose levels when they are low.

Gluconeogenesis, the formation of glucose from fats and proteins, primarily due to the action of the hormone cortisol. This hormone is a glucocorticoid and is secreted in response to ACTH. One of the main roles of cortisol is to stimulate the synthesis of glucose and gluconeogenesis (converting a non-carbohydrate to glucose) by liver cells and promote the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue.

Insulin, on the other hand, is responsible for reducing blood glucose levels by stimulating glycolysis, the metabolism of glucose for ATP generation, and inhibiting enzymes involved in glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Thus, insulin helps in decreasing glucose in the blood, not forming it.

It's also worth noting that aldosterone, another hormone, regulates blood glucose levels by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose when glucose levels decrease in the blood. And glucagon, produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas, increases blood glucose levels by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.

Answer:

b. The environment can also affect phenotype.

c. Many traits are encoded by multiple genes.

Explanation:

The types of alleles of various genes present in the members of a population can not be identified by observing phenotypes. This is because some genetic traits are regulated by more than one gene. Combinations of the dominant alleles of each of these genes regulate the final phenotype of the organisms. Skin color in humans is an example of such a genetic trait.

Likewise, some genetic traits are also affected by their surroundings. The extent of exposure to sun and pollution in the surroundings are two nongenetic factors that regulate the human skin tone in addition to multiple genes.

Final answer:

The reason we cannot measure genetic variation using phenotypes is that b. The environment can also affect phenotype, making them an unreliable indicator of genetic variation due to their resulting from both genotypic factors and environmental influences.

Explanation:

The correct option for why we can't measure genetic variation in a population using observable traits (phenotypes) is b. The environment can also affect phenotype. This is because an organism's phenotype is the result of the interaction between its genotype and the environment. While genetic diversity and variation are critical for the survival of a species, phenotypes may not provide a complete picture of genetic variation as they are the result of both genetic factors and environmental influences.

Most traits are not Mendelian; they are polygenic, meaning several genes contribute to a trait's expression. Furthermore, environmental factors can have a significant impact on the expression of these traits, adding another layer of complexity. Therefore, simply observing traits cannot accurately measure the genetic variation in a population.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Mendel performed dihybrid crosses to investigate whether the pattern of inheritance for one trait influenced another. Therefore option B is correct.

In a dihybrid cross, he simultaneously studied the inheritance of two different traits by crossing individuals that were heterozygous for both traits.

This allowed him to observe the inheritance patterns of multiple traits in a single experiment, enabling him to analyze whether these patterns were linked or independent.

By studying the inheritance of traits that were located on separate chromosomes, Mendel provided crucial insights into the principles of independent assortment, demonstrating that the inheritance of one trait does not significantly affect the inheritance of another.

Thereby contributing to the foundation of modern genetics.

Therefore option B is correct.

Option D , serious but faintly condescending

Explanation:

The passage for this question is

Throughout her history China had believed herself the center of civilization,

surrounded by barbarians. She was the Middle Kingdom, the center of the

universe, whose Emperor was the Son of Heaven, ruling by the Mandate of

Heaven. Convinced of their superior values, the Chinese considered that

China’s greatness was owed to principles of social order over a harmonious

whole. All outsiders whose misfortune was to live beyond her borders were

“barbarians’’ and necessarily inferiors who were expected, and indeed required,

to make their approach, if they insisted on coming, bearing tribute and

performing the kowtow in token of humble submission.

From the time of Marco Polo to the eighteenth century, visiting Westerners,

amazed and admiring, were inclined to take China at her own valuation. Her

recorded history began in the third millennium B.C., her bronzes were as old as

the pyramids, her classical age was contemporary with that of Greece, her

Confucian canon of ethics predated the New Testament if not the Old. She was

the inventor of paper, porcelain, silk, gunpowder, the clock and movable type,

the builder of the Great Wall, one of the wonders of the world, the creator of

fabrics and ceramics of exquisite beauty and of an art of painting that was

sophisticated and expressive when Europe’s was still primitive and flat . . . .

When at the end of the eighteenth century Western ships and merchants

surged against China’s shores, eager for tea and silk and cotton, they found no

reciprocal enthusiasm. Enclosed in the isolation of superiority, Imperial China

wanted no influx of strangers from primitive islands called Britain or France or  Holland who came to live off the riches of the Middle Kingdom bearing only

worthless articles for exchange. They had ugly noses and coarse manners and  wore ridiculous clothes with constricting sleeves and trousers, tight collars and  coats that had tails down the back but failed to close in front. These were not the garments of reasonable men. A past-oriented society, safe only in seclusion, sensed a threat from the

importunate West. The Imperial Government raised every barrier possible by refusals, evasions, postponements, and prohibitions to foreign entry or

settlement or the opening of formal relations. Splendidly remote in the “Great Within’’ of the Forbidden City of Peking, the court refused to concern itself with the knocking on its doors. It would admit foreign embassies who came to plead for trade treaties only if they performed the ritual of three genuflections and

nine prostrations in approaching the Son of Heaven. British envoys, after

surmounting innumerable obstacles to reach Peking, balked at the kowtow and  turned back empty-handed.

Solution -

In this passage , China is represented as a nation considering itself superior to all other nations on the basis of its civilization, values, social order etc. Earlier the western world admired the nation for its ancient civilization, tradition, merchandise, art and culture and ethics and inventor of some of the popular materials such as gun powder, clock, etc. However, with expectation of trading when the ships of western world reached the Chinese sea shore, they did not received any enthusiastic approach from them. This left China isolated. However after centuries later this nation itself made rule and regulation for trading across the border.

1000 in every two weeks for 6 weeks is 3000

A population of Drosophila mauritiana reproduces in synchrony at discrete time periods every generation. The expected size of the population after six weeks is 27,000.

The term “population” refers to all citizens who are either permanently residing in a country or who are just passing through. This indicator reveals how many people typically reside in a certain area.

Growth rates are the population changes that occur each year as a result of births, deaths, and net migration. Any whole group that shares at least one trait is referred to be a population.

People do not make up all populations. Populations can include but are not limited to, individuals, animals, organizations, structures, buildings, cars, farms, objects, or occasions.

No = 1000 Growth rate r = 3.0 per generation

Answer:

Cell changes shape from cuboid to squamous when the bladder gets full.

Also the transitional epithelium being flexible in terms of contraction and expansion are suitable for urinary bladder

Explanation:

Transitional epithelium is a stratified epithelium which means it consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells. These multiple layer of cells allows the epithelium to contract and expand as per the requirement of the organ. Since Urinary bladder stretch and change its shape continuously (when it becomes full or empty).  

The shape of these cells also varies with the bladder state. When the bladder is empty, these cells are cuboid and when the bladder is full these cells gain flat shape just like squamous cells

Transitional epithelium in the bladder changes from a thick, multilayered, cuboidal appearance when empty to a thinner, squamous appearance when full, facilitating the bladder's function of storing variable urine volumes.

The transitional epithelium is unique tissue found in the urinary bladder that facilitates its expansion and contraction as it fills and empties. When the bladder is empty, the transitional epithelium is composed of multiple layers that make it appear thicker due to convoluted and cuboidal-shaped apical cells. Conversely, as the bladder fills and stretches, the cells transition to a squamous appearance, and the tissue becomes thinner and less stratified, effectively accommodating larger volumes of urine.

Thus, the structural design of the transitional epithelium aligns perfectly with the function of the bladder, which demands high distensibility to store varying quantities of urine, ranging from nearly zero to 500-600 mL in adults.
